Mouse problem in Vista

Former Member

Hi all,

I've got an Acer machine with Vista. I've always had problems with the mouse seizing up but now it's not working at all. It doesn't make a difference whether I plug an external one in or work off the touchpad.

There's nothing online that I can see - any ideas?

I'd remove the divers, reboot, see if your usb mouse works then get some off the acer website.

What model do you have? I'll look up the drivers for you.

It's always anti vista with you DG... *rolls eyes*

I'd try to find new drivers from the producer website. I've had some issues with an MS mouse myself in Vista
